Ottis

Pug

Elizabethtown, PA

All of our dogs and cats are in foster homes and we have no paid staff. If you have questions concerning a specific animal, PLEASE fill out an application and the foster parent will be in touch. We will not arrange any home visits with any of our dogs and cats until your application is processed. Please understand our foster parents are precious to our 2nd Chance family; without them we cannot function, so we do our best to not burden them with multiple appointments. Our foster parents will choose their top 3 applications and arrange home visits with these applicants. The adopter will be chosen at that time. The process can take anywhere from a week to a month. We want to make sure our little furry ones are placed in their "forever home" and never have to go through a rehoming again!

Everyone meet 6 year old Ottis. His story is quite the heartbreaking one. He was surrendered yesterday due to his owner passing away. When Ottis was just a pup he was hit by a car. His owner got him the vet care he needed but he suffered spinal damage and was unable to use his back legs. She handmade him a cart with wheels and this strong little guy taught himself to walk again. Now he can walk al...l by himself without the help of his cart with little difficulty. He is as sweet as can be and sad now that his owner is no longer with him. He is wonderful with other dogs, cats and very gentle with children. He also will give a big smile when you say to him 'show me your geekers!' Something him and his owner shared together. Will you give him the forever home he needs? Please remember that in the future he will be a special needs dog as he may need a cart again as he grows older and you must be a truly committed forever home.

Please fill out an adoption application: Adoption application (Dog) Adoption Application (Cat) Please understand we do not adopt out dogs to families with children under the age of 5. We do not adopt dogs to renters. Some dogs will have fence requirements while others may not.

A pet is a lifetime commitment. The dogs and cats in our system find themselves there, for the most part, because their humans did not have the same loyalty to them as they did to their owners. We do not take the adoption process lightly, and will do everything in our power to make sure the animal is placed correctly the first time around for your sake and theirs. Thank you for choosing to adopt not shop!
